mtlb_findstr - Matlab findstr emulation function

### Description

There is no Scilab equivalent for Matlab `findstr`.

The function `mtlb_findstr(A,B)` is used by `mfile2sci` to replace `findstr(A,B)` when it was not possible to know what were the operands/inputs[CUSTOM] while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a more efficient code it is possible to replace `mtlb_findstr` calls:

  - If `A` is always longer than `B` (i.e. `findstr` can be replaced by `strfind` in Matlab, `mtlb_findstr(A,B)` may be replaced by `strindex(A,B)`

Caution: `mtlb_findstr` has not to be used for hand coded functions.
